[1468] Benjamin owed his education mainly to his brother who inspired
him with a love for study and reading.
After leaving the district school, he attended Schoharie and
Hamilton academies, and also Carlisle Seminary, one of whose
promoters and stockholders he was - having invested his entire
patrimony to establish the school, and it was finally lost as
the school went down after a few years. After the death of
their father in 1849 the two sons continuedfarming for some
years, each attending school away from home alternate winters.
Benjamin, like his brother, engaged in teaching, in which
profession he continued for fifteen years in union schools and
academies, in his native State and in New Jersey - spending his
vacations in travel.
In the early years of the war he and his brother addressed
meetings, aided in raising local town bounties to promote the
enlistment of men for the Union armies, and in 1864 he received
a commission from Gov. Seymour to go south to enlist men for
the Union service.
November 12, 1873 he married Mary C. Lawyer, a daughter of
John S. Lawyer of Fultonham, NY. Miss Lawyer was a graduate of
the Albany Normal School, and had been for ten years one of the
best teachers in the State. She had three times declined
offered situtations in the normal schools of the State, beause
she could command larger salaries in union schools.
In the autumn of 1874, Mr. Clark engaged in the mercantile
business, at which he and his wife continued until the fall of
1889, when he sold out and retired from business with a
moderate competence.
No children were born to them, otherwise the union was a most
happy one, both having a cultiavted literary taste, being
genuine book-lovers. They are now residing in the house in
Sloansville which was for many years the ideal home of the aged
mother, two sisters and the two brothers.
Still interested in education, and in the education of their
newphews and neices, highly respected by all who know them, in
their pleasant home with a well-selected libary (the life-time
collection of the two brothers), Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Clark are
peacefully approaching the evening of their days.
